"Remembering Cao Yingfu" Is the "Three Elderly Men" killed by Rikou: Jing Fangjia, poet, painter

Cao Jiada (1868-1937), also known as Yingfu, Yin Fu, Pengnan, Late Writer Humble Nest Old Man, Jiangyin, Jiangsu. Mr. Cao Yingfu is a famous TCM clinician and TCM educator in modern China, because of his clinical good use of jingfang, the efficacy is remarkable, and the treatment of diseases is often known with one dose and two doses of healing, so it is praised by people at the time as "Cao Yi Ti". Representative medical works include "Typhoid Fever Fa Wei", "Jin Kui Fa Wei", "Jing Fang Experimental Record", "Mr. Cao Yingfu Medical Case", in addition, there are "Commentaries on GuLe Fu", "Records of the Essence of The Sons", "Collection of Poems of Qi Tingzhai", "Plum Blossom Poems", "Ancient Texts and Poems", "Mr. Ding Ganren's Ancient Memories" and other literary works.

Cao Yingfu was born in a family of scholars, and his uncle and grandfather were Cao Yuying, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, who served as a servant of Suncheon Province, a secretary of Dali Temple, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, a royal history of Zuodu, and a shangshu of the Bingbu. Because Cao Yingfu's uncle, Duke Bingsheng (曹明彝), was childless, Cao Yingfu was passed on to And raised by Him from an early age. Because his adoptive father, Bingshenggong, was proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and his family suffered from diseases, they all prescribed medicines for treatment, Cao Yingfu learned from his family, heard about it, liked to read medical books since childhood, and loved ancient Chinese, Gong ci zhang, and You Shan painting plum. Since then, one personal experience after another has gradually strengthened Cao Yingfu's faith in jingfang, and finally made him a generation of jingfang masters.

In 1880, an old woman in a neighbor fell ill, abdominal pain was unbearable, constipation, although after an extended medical consultation, but repeated medication did not work. At this time, the 13-year-old Cao Yingfu's milk warbler first cried, and after looking at it and carefully seeing it, she used the "Big Chengqi Soup" side contained in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" to cure the old woman's abdominal pain. This is also the first time that Cao Yingfu has used jingfang to carry out clinical treatment for patients.

In 1883, when Cao Yingfu was 16 years old, he once again witnessed the miraculous healing effect of Jingfang. His father, Mr. Cao Lao, fell ill and had diarrhea, but unfortunately, after Mr. Cao Lao's own prescription treatment, his condition did not improve. So i asked another doctor to come to the clinic for treatment, but after taking more than a dozen medicines in a row, the condition gradually worsened, and finally caused Mr. Cao to sweat and die. At the critical moment, Mr. Zhao Yunquan, a friend of Mr. Cao Lao, who is proficient in medical skills, came to visit, and after seeing the doctor, he prescribed the "Lizhong Pill" contained in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" to change the decoction and add the appendage, Wu Zhuyun, and the cloves side, and only one dose of medicine was eaten, and Mr. Cao Lao's sweating stopped, and the diarrhea also stopped. After this conditioning, the body gradually heals. This experience also made Cao Yingfu more and more convinced of the efficacy of Jingfang.

In 1892, the 25-year-old Cao Yingfu followed his cousin Chen Shangbai and his wife to Nanjing by boat to catch the examination. On the way to the exam, an event occurred that Made Cao Yingfu unforgettable, so much so that decades later, he also told this matter to his student Jiang Zuojing (a native of Ruian, Zhejiang, a disciple of Cao Yingfu, a famous doctor in Shanghai, who became a lecturer at the Chinese Medical College in Taiwan after 1949 to Taiwan, and pioneered the research and teaching of "Typhoid Fever" in Taiwan).

On the way to the examination, the sky was hot, the sun was like fire, Cao Yingfu was hot and sweaty on the boat every day, his clothes were soaked, when the boat came ashore on the Zhenjiang River, Cao Yingfu fell ill and had a high fever. After asking a doctor to see me, I took the medicine for several days, but my condition became more and more serious, it was difficult to get out of bed, and I was cold and feverish all day, and I was sweating profusely. However, in order to enter Beijing to catch the examination, his cousin and friends helped Cao Yingfu insist on taking a boat to Nanjing. Cao Yingfu, who was seriously ill, only felt that the sky was dark, did not know the personnel, and was bedridden after arriving in Nanjing. At this time, only three days before the entrance examination, Cao Yingfu's condition was getting worse and worse, and he also added to the urine and blood disorder. Cao Yingfu was disheartened, and did not expect to study hard for many years in the cold window, but when she entered the examination room, she was seriously ill.

Fortunately, it happened that Cao Yingfu's in-laws, Mr. Chen Baohou, also came to Nanjing for the test, and Mr. Chen was also proficient in medical skills. After giving Cao Yingfu a detailed consultation, he personally went out to buy back three bottles of lotus leaf dew and a dozen pears. He asked Cao Yingfu to drink lotus leaf dew first, and then ate more than a dozen pears. Then he personally fried the medicine and fed Cao Yingfu a large bowl. Cao Yingfu's intuition was much easier after taking the medicine, and she slept well, and when she woke up, her head was no longer painful. Mr. Chen fed Cao Yingfu a large bowl of medicine, and Cao Yingfu fell asleep tiredly, and when he woke up, his whole body began to sweat, and even his clothes and bedding were all soaked. At this time, Cao Yingfu felt that her condition had improved significantly, her stomach was hungry, she drank several bowls of millet porridge in one breath, and then slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she felt that her body was completely well. So I shook my spirits and walked into the examination room, taking the exam for several days in a row, and my body did not feel unwell.

Afterwards, Cao Yingfu learned that Mr. Chen added or subtracted the "White Tiger plus Guizhi Soup" contained in the "Golden Essentials", and the prescription only used guizhi and gypsum medicines to cure Cao Yingfu's serious illness. This personal experience made Cao Yingfu believe in the miraculous healing effect of Jingfang.

In 1895, Cao Yingfu held up filial piety and was later enrolled in The Nanjing Academy of Jiangyin County (the predecessor of the current Nanjing Senior High School in Jiangyin), and worshiped Mr. Zhou (Ziyuan Tong, also known as Zhao Ji, also known as Zhaosheng, a famous scholar and master of scripture in the late Qing Dynasty) as his teacher. Cao Yingfu's poems are not confined by the ancients, and they are unique, and their classmates call them "poetry everyone", and because of their upright nature, they are called "Cao Yan" by their classmates. In 1902, Cao Yingfu went to Beijing again to take the exam, and finally won the examination and selected Zhi County.

In 1904, Cao Yingfu's father, Bingsheng Gong, who was hoping that Cao Yingfu would be able to be titled in the golden list and the lintel, died, and in 1905, the Qing court abolished the imperial examination system, and Cao Yingfu was desperate to pursue a career and live in seclusion. Guided by the ancient idea of "not for the good, but for the good doctor", Cao Yingfu studied medicine every day, placed her love on calligraphy and painting, poetry, and devoted herself to curing diseases and saving people, constantly practicing Jingfang medicine, often discussing with Qian Shengfang, Zhu Xiangyun, Feng Zhenruo and other famous doctors in Jiangyin, and studying the Jingfang theories such as "On Typhoid Fever" and "Outline of the Golden Plateau". During this period, Cao Yingfu also traveled abroad to increase her experience.

In 1915, Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, and the gentry of Jiangyin were listed to persuade them to advance, and Cao Yingfu was dissatisfied with the perverse behavior of the people, and there were many questions about the persuasion of the people. Soon after, Cao Yingfu was invited by Chao Wuzhong in Menghe Town, Wujin County, Jiangsu Province, and was hired as Xi Xi to teach his son his studies for three years.

In 1919, the 51-year-old Cao Yingfu went to Shanghai and went to shanghai to visit the hanging pot in Xiaonanmen Jiangyin Street, Shanghai Nancheng District, he treated people without pay, and when there were poor patients, he gave free medicine, and even took patients to his home for nursing and treatment, so he often could not make ends meet, so the clinic often relied on selling calligraphy and paintings to fund the family (can't help but exclaim: Whether it is the Republic of China period, or today, it is rare). To this end, the calligrapher and painter Mr. Wu Changshuo (a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, a famous painter, calligrapher, seal engraver in the late Qing Dynasty, a representative of the "Houhai School", and the first president of the Hangzhou Xiling Printing Society) specially wrote a painting "Cao Yingfu Sells Poetry and Practices Medicine" to praise Cao Yingfu's noble medical ethics. At this time, Cao Yingfu has become a great success, the clinical treatment effect is remarkable, patients often take one dose of the drug will be significantly better, taking two doses of medicine will be cured, so it was praised by the people of the time as "Cao Yi Ti".

In 1920, he was hired by Mr. Ding Ganren, a famous doctor in Shanghai (a modern TCM clinician, TCM educator, and the founder of the Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (the predecessor of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine), as a teacher at the Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he taught Mandarin, "On Typhoid Fever", "Outline of the Golden Plateau", and served as the director of academic affairs. In addition to teaching, Cao Yingfu also gave medical consultations at the charity medical institutions Renfu Yuantang and Guangyi Shantang. During this period, the medical case "The Medical Case of Mr. Cao Yingfu", which was copied and sorted out by his student Wang Shenxuan during his consultation, was published by the Suzhou Traditional Chinese Medical Book Society in 1925.

In 1926, when Mr. Ding Ganren died, Cao Yingfu was often attached to the deceased, depressed, and devoted himself to writing books and lecturing and teaching disciples. In 1928, "Jin KuaiFa Wei" was drafted and published by the Shanghai Medical Book Company in 1936. In 1930, "Typhoid Fever" was completed and published by The Shanghai Changming Medical Society in 1931. In 1937, compiled by his student Jiang Zuojing, cao Yingfu reviewed and then commented, explained and played on a case-by-case basis, the "Experimental Record of Jingfang" was published by Qianqingtang Bookstore.

In 1937, the "August 13" incident in Shanghai, the japanese invasion, the all-people war of resistance, the outbreak of the Songhu War, Cao Yingfu had no choice but to return to Jiangyin. Soon, the Japanese invaded Jiangyin, and at the end of November 1937, Jiangyin City fell. On December 4 of that year, a woman was chased by the Japanese army, with no way out, and fled into the back house where Cao Yingfu lived, and the Japanese Kou chased after her and followed her. At that time, Cao Yingfu was revising the poem manuscript in the box room, and after hearing the sound, the pole came out to prevent the Japanese Kou from committing the crime and shouted a reprimand. Enraged, Rikou raised his gun and shot Cao Yingfu, and stabbed Cao Yingfu in the abdomen with a knife and flew away. After Cao Yingfu was stabbed, he still cursed Rikou, and his family hurriedly carried him into the bedroom. However, at that time, the soldiers in the city were in chaos, the corpses were everywhere, and there was nowhere to extend medical rescue, Cao Yingfu unfortunately died of exhaustion, and was buried in the Ancestral Tomb of Xuejiawan in Xiangshan, Dongwai, at the age of 70.

epilogue

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army went all the way south like a broken bamboo, but it was blocked under jiangyin city. Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun, the entire city of Jiangyin was martyred after eighty-one days of defending the isolated city (known as the eighty-first day in history), and none of them surrendered, and the Qing army lost the three kings and eighteen generals under this small county town. At that time, Yan Yingyuan once wrote a poem in the enemy tower of Dongcheng: Eighty days with allegiance, cousin Taizu Seventeen Dynasties figures; 100,000 people died with one heart, leaving the Ming Dynasty three hundred miles of rivers and mountains. In the battle, there was a Jiangyin woman who inscribed a poem before the martyrdom: The white bones of the exposed blade are full of battlefields, and the lonely and loyal people have not been willing to surrender; the message is that the pedestrians cover their noses, and the living are not as good as the dead. Jiangyin is famous for his loyalty and righteousness, and as a Jiangyin person, Cao Yingfu many years later also interpreted the meaning of loyalty and righteousness with his life.

During the late Qing Dynasty, China was clearly lagging behind the West. With the opening of the door of ancient China by the Western powers in 1840 with the cannons of the ships, the Chinese people also began to reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of traditional culture in the movement to save the people and survive. The result of "excessive reflection" is that "science" and "democracy" have become the loudest slogans, Western medicine believes that Chinese medicine is unscientific and negates it, and then in 1929 proposed the "abolition of the old medical case", requiring the government to abolish Chinese medicine, which can be described as the first life-and-death struggle of traditional medicine in the motherland.

Under the circumstances at that time, the Chinese medicine industry could only be cautious and humble, humble to survive, clinical prescriptions did not seek merit, but sought no fault, the use of drugs was light and fleeting, and did not dare to use the rapid effect of ephedra, appendages, rhubarb, gypsum and other drugs, but also disdainful of the "jingfang". The excuse these Chinese medicine practitioners gave themselves was: "The ancient formula cannot cure the disease of the present", so they completely negate the Traditional Chinese medicine of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, believing that only the "Wen Supplement School" and the "Wen Disease School" of the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods and the "Huitong School" that strive to combine Traditional Chinese and Western medicine can treat the diseases at that time (Note: Now "Jingfang Medicine" is once again popular throughout the country and is famous all over the world, proving that "ancient medicine can cure the disease of the present", and the wisdom of the ancestors is not negated by a "unscientific").

Cao Yingfu respected Zhang Zhongjing's learning and advocated the Jingfang, adhering to the position of traditional Chinese medicine with his own persistence and refusing to follow the tide, which was particularly rare in the situation at that time. "Knowing that it is difficult to cure, especially he will do his best to make a cube for it." Yue: It is better to be slandered than to have a prescription than not to use it", with its own clinical experience and efficacy, it proves that the science of Chinese medicine is outstanding. During his teaching at the Shanghai Specialized School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and in his spare time, he lectured on the experience of apprenticeship and tirelessly, and sometimes witnesses praised: "For a while, the students from all over the world have come and gone, and they are also in good spirits." When mr. wanderers, many can use the prescription of large potions, from the sinking, the disease is healed, and the people have the eyes of the Cao Sect. Those who have left mr. men one after another, regardless of hundreds of people, are now superior people."

Modern famous doctors Zhang Cigong, Qin Bowei, Wang Yiren, Shen Shijian, Yan Cangshan, Xu Banlong, Cheng Menxue, Zhang Zanchen, Ding Jihua, Jiang Zuojing, Wang Shenxuan, etc., are all knowledgeable and knowledgeable, all of whom are the best among Cao Yingfu's students and disciples, and later became a generation of famous Chinese medicine masters (Note: The above several are all famous Chinese medicine practitioners in modern China, if it is now, they are definitely appropriate "masters of traditional Chinese medicine", and everyone is interested in searching on the Internet). As the famous Chinese medicine practitioner Mr. Ren Yingqiu (a native of Jiangjin, Sichuan, a famous contemporary TCM practitioner and TCM educator) described Cao Yingfu as "a pure jingfang in modern times".
